Mitchell was in Green's head early on in the first game this season. Then he had a wake up call.

Steelers have their hard hitting players. Bengals have theirs.

It won't be purposefully avoided especially in a contact sport, then again I don't think others would flip someone's recovering ankle when they get up - but maybe they shouldn't be on the field if it's not 100% and they're worried about that, because in another scenario the ankle would handle that fine - lol.

tl;dr - I side with Burfict on flipping on an already injured player's ankle.

Sheesh...these guys...


"This guy is a thug and has pay backs coming. He purposely tried to take Ben out and was involved in all kinds of dirty thuggery last game. I'm really hoping DeCastro ends his season. His back up is probably actually a better player, but he crossed the line last game. The guy sucks as a player and thinks he can get into our heads with cheap shots. I fully expect more of his antics this week, I just hope he doesn't actually hurt anyone or bait us into 15 yard penalties.

The smart thing to do would be to "legally" go after Burfict immediately in the first quarter. He's a mental midget and will quickly lose his cool and will hurt his team because he's a selfish player and a thug.

Same thing goes for PacMan. If there was ever a team that needs to be punched in the mouth it's this 2015 Ben'sGals. Most over rated team in the league.

AND


"It's going to be quite chippy. Yes they have some real questionable players but they ALWAYS have had them. Such a wonderful franchise. Keep them with a nice zero stat!"



God, i hope we win this game.

We've seen it in Suh, Haynesworth, Incognito, Rodney and James Harrison, Hines Ward, can even go back to Deacon Jones and his head slaps. Though I don't think Burfict is quite on the level of some of the guys I have listed, he does try his best to wind up and get in the heads of the opposition. A lot of very good championship teams have had these types of guys on their roster. The guy who can disrupt gameplans by going off piste. You hate it when your team is on the receiving end of it (as the Bengals have a lot) but ultimately it can be effective.

I think the minute Burfict gave Cam's recovering ankle a blatant little twist after making a tackle we realised he was not the cleanest. You know what, for decades it has been us as fans, moaning at the Steelers playing cheap and using dirty tactics to get an edge. Now it seems we are hearing just as much whining from the Steelers. From my perspective, that must be a good sign. A changing of the guard.

OP, yes, I think he is starting to get in their heads....and they don't like it.

No reality going on there whatsoever. There will be some major crying and whining going on tomorrow night.

Burfict dragging Bell down and inadvertently injuring him on a clearly clean tackle: dirty player

Steeler fan logic.
